Answer:

His main hope is freedom.

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass talks about hope throughout his narrative. Education, freedom, and abolition are three of the kinds of hope he has in his life. The clearest kind of hope depicted in his narrative is freedom undoubtedly: ‘for the hope of being free, I have no doubt but that I should have killed myself’. When talking about his relationship with his master Covey, he says ‘I was sometimes prevented to take my own life and that of Covey’s but was prevented by a combination of hope and fear’.  

The reason why Douglass holds on to the idea of hope for freedom is because thanks to education he was able to understand the basic principles of free America: “Now, take the Constitution according to its plain reading, and I defy the presentation of a single pro-slavery clause in it”.

Ah, classic Frederick Douglass.

On the story "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass", which I read last year, it explains the misery of slavery and how tough it was for him to escape slavery. He questions the ethics of slavery, and why it's immoral to hold people property over other people, when the Declaration of Independence said that "Everybody is equal". On the text, you will see that he secretly taught himself to read and write, just to spread his messages.
Frederick Douglass, as an abolitionist, hoped that one day, slavery would end. Why does he have this hope? Well, there is no debate to slavery. SLAVERY IS IMMORAL.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

These lines come from American poetry in the 19th century. This is an epic poem called "The Columbiad" made by Joel Barlow in 1807. The author wants to show how U.S. citizens imagine their national identity by stating good principles for a good nation. In his ideas, he attempts at social, cultural and political emancipation. In the first lines "Purge all privations from your liberal code, restore their souls to men, give earth repose, And save you sons from slavery, wars, and woes" the author's argument is to seek for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In order to achieve that he believes that slavery should be abolished so the United States will be purge of the crime of slavery. He believes in freedom, in a new country with good foundations for liberty and progress.

In the next lines "Based on its rock of Right your empire lies; On walls of wisdom let the fabric rise; Preserve your principles, their force unfold. Let nations prove them and let kings behold." the author argument is the same, he is constantly searching for liberty in his ideas, he thinks that the United States should end slavery by eliminating slavers and masters. This idea is important specially because the author believes in a republic society that can't failed. He constantly  says that slavery is barbaric and it doesn't fit in a democratic new world. For a good nation it's necessary to have good principles, wisdom and liberty as well as good citizens with a new mind that means without the european tradition and slavery.
